YAN - Yet Another Newbie
Posted: Tue Jul 25, 2006 10:13 am
Hey all. I've been playing this game for a few days now, and wow, it has totally blown my mind. I'll subscribe as soon I'm ready to leave the island. I've read about the differences between mainland and ros, but that's okay. I've come to love this game for a couple of things:
1, Classless system
2, Skillbased leveling
3, Most realistic mob behavior I've yet to see
4, The lore, oh the lore
5, The people, coming from WoW as my last, horrible, experience, there is quite a difference in maturity
6, List goes on
This game is so fundamentally different, so unique, on so many levels, that it's hard to see why I should play something else. I've tried dozens of online games, WoW, CoH/V, AA, Eve, DnDo, SWG, to name a few, and several of them have come close, but yet cut short, in my search for my kind of mmo. I don't need to pushed around the world, killing x# of z creature etc, by generic quest #y, which in turn pretends to be for some just/dread cause, all the while making you believe you actually do something for the world. I like living my own life, having my character experience his own world, through his own eyes.
I've got two characters as of yet, a Matis known as Shakh, and a Zorei known as Driel. I've not decided which one to play definatly yet, but it's starting to lean more and more towards the Zorei.
Wow, looks like this post got way longer than the "Hi. I'm new." post I origionally envisioned. Once again, hi all, hope to see you in the game.

Appart from the Palace of course wich was obviously built with more traditional materials.
